Product Information
Full details
The Hozelock Dual Control Tap Connector is designed for gardeners who need to connect multiple watering devices to a single outdoor tap. Its key benefit is the ability to control water flow to two separate hoses independently, making garden watering more efficient and quicker. A potential limitation is its compatibility, which, while broad, may not fit all tap types. This connector allows for simultaneous or individual use of two hoses, simplifying garden irrigation tasks.

FAQs
Can I use both outlets at the same time?
Yes, the dual control dial allows you to open one, the other, or both outlets simultaneously depending on your watering needs.
What size is the thread for the tap connection?
The connector is supplied with a 3/4 inch BSP thread, designed to fit most standard outdoor taps.
Will this fit a square tap?
This connector is designed for round taps with a threaded outlet. It will not fit square-shaped tap spouts.
How do I adjust the water flow for each hose?
There is a central dial on the front of the connector. Turning this dial controls the water flow independently for each of the two hose outlets.
Is this connector suitable for high-pressure water systems?
The connector is designed for standard domestic water pressure. It should function well within typical household water pressure ranges.
What should I do if the connector cracks?
If the connector cracks, it should be replaced. Inspect it regularly for signs of damage, especially after extreme temperature changes or significant impact.
Troubleshooting
Connector leaks at the tap
Ensure the connector is screwed on tightly and the internal thread seal is clean and intact. Check for any debris on the tap's thread.
Water flow is weak from one outlet
Check the flow control dial for that specific outlet; ensure it is fully open. Inspect the hose connected to that outlet for kinks or blockages.
Connector is difficult to screw onto the tap
Verify that your tap has a standard 3/4 inch BSP thread. Ensure there are no obstructions on the tap's thread. Do not force the connection.
